How to win lane as Yasuo against Pantheon · 49.17% win rate over 3,295 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon's Comet Spear (Q) out-ranges Steel Tempest so he pokes you freely at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 his Aegis (W) stun comes online, giving him a point-and-click all-in you can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 his full Q+W+auto combo out-trades your Steel Tempest and Sweeping Blade every time. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Through levels 4-5 his shield block and empowered Q keep zoning you off the wave. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it evens out as Grand Starfall (R) pulls his pressure to sidelanes rather than dueling you. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item lands your crit spike and Q3 knock-up into Last Breath, flipping the all-in to you. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | With 2+ items Pantheon hard-falls off while your crit scaling and Wind Wall take over the game. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Pantheon: his Comet Spear (Q) massively out-ranges your Steel Tempest and his empowered melee Q chunks you if you contest the wave, so soak XP from max range and take free poke rather than trading. Do not use Sweeping Blade to engage; you need it defensively here.
